Overview

Advanced Design of Sustainable Ships and Offshore Structures from Ghent University, demand for highly qualified engineers is higher than ever. This is even more true in the globalized maritime and offshore market which is at the dawn of massive challenges and, fortunately, opportunities. The energy transition, not only for vessels but also to create offshore energy for land based locations, is but a single but important example.

Key facts

The combined expertise of the seven core partners of the EMship program, complemented with the strong background of the associated universities, comes together in this program with global impact and state-of-the-art insights on the rapid technological evolution in the fields of naval architecture, maritime technology and offshore engineering.

Student will acquire the necessary analytical reasoning, scientific and technical skills and competences to help move the maritime world towards a greener transportation mode and towards a safer and sustainable maritime transportation/navigation. Graduates will be able to meet the growing demand from companies for engineers with up-to-date competences and societal challenges related to global warming: need for energy saving, renewable energy sources, more efficient and less polluting means of transport.
